Barbara Desmond posted a discussionLabel Limit At Blogger
That's one thing I never really thought about but today I hit it. I know others on here have blogs at Blogger so I thought I'd let you know that there's a limit of 2000 labels. I had the fun of going through posts to remove a few labels. Apparently I've been label happy so be careful on what you label. So instead of having a label for the book title you might decide to just use the author instead. I'm not sure if I've got so many labels because I also do a few paid posts over there along with…See More

Barbara Desmond posted a blog postFollow Me On Twitter To Find Out About Blog Posts
Of course I'm not going to be insane and add another blog to the insanity so following me on Twitter would be a good way to find out which post is which since I do have two blogs and end up posting depending on the day multiple times. I can be found at http://twitter.com/bardgirl. I have the two blogs and I'm just going to stick with those two. Melancholy Musings is my regular blog where I do daily posts which…See More

Moonlight Dwelling This is my fan fiction website of many fandoms. I'm a bit schizo so there's a weird range from anime stuff to the Whedonverse, Supernatural and more.
Dishing The Soaps This is my soaps blog where I babble about the soaps. I watch Days Of Our Lives, The Bold And The Beautiful, and Hollyoaks. I might start watching Emmerdale since James Sutton is on it now and I loved him as John Paul on Hollyoaks. Also there's word of Jesse Metcalfe joining Coronation Street but I'm not sure if there's any truth to that but I loved him on Passions and of course on Desperate Housewives. Why can't the ones mowing the lawn around here look like him?
Follow Me On Twitter: I give updates for my website and of course the blog posts throughout the day along with random bits of weirdness.
Currently Reading: Smoke And Shadows by Tanya Huff and Magic Bites by Illona Andrews.

Book Post Coming
Okay the plan is to have it posted tomorrow. Yes it is written but I do happen to take advantage of being able to schedule posts so if nothing unexpected happens there will be one tomorrow morning. Now it could end up getting posted sooner depending on whether or not I'm able to grab a post. So just go over there and see for yourself if anyone is actually reading this. And oops it isn't actually one of the books I'm currently reading. For some reason I just can't really get into Magic… Continue

Just Posted Regular Blog Post
I really don't need another blog so I'll just mention blog posts and now that I think about it book posts would make more sense although today I'll just go with my regular blog post because I haven't done a book post today but I did on Saturday. So go read Good & Bad if you're in the mood for babbling.

Bernice McFadden said… - Dear Book Lover:
You may not know me or my work, but I am the national bestselling, award winning novelist of six critically acclaimed novels who has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction
On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR will celebrate its 10th anniversary and in order to commemorate this milestone I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies between now and that date.
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. And yes, KINDLE purchases count.
If you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering ad Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.
Peace & Light,
Bernice L. McFadden

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
